At YMCA Ethiopia, we believe that wellbeing is a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit. In an ever-changing world, this balance is increasingly challenged. Our mission is to promote community wellbeing through a holistic approach to health, focusing on the interconnectedness of these three dimensions. By 2030, we aim to advocate for high-quality health solutions tailored specifically for young people and their communities around the globe.
Our Community Wellbeing Initiatives
Life Skills-Based Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH)
By 2030, YMCA Ethiopia aims to strengthen and expand safe, inclusive spaces that empower individuals to care for their physical, spiritual, and mental health. This initiative ultimately enhances the wellbeing and resilience of their families and communities. Recognizing that Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is a broad concept intertwined with essential life skills, YMCA Ethiopia integrates life skills into its SRH initiatives, particularly for adolescents and youth.
Physical Fitness and Artistic Expression at YMCA Ethiopia
Physical fitness is one of the founding principles of YMCA, and YMCA Ethiopia actively embraces this commitment by providing space, training, and organizing events across various sports and artistic disciplines.
